Don's Old Daily Dabblings

Re: Don's HDR attempts

Nice start Don! I have not been brave enough to do HDR without a tripod

PhotoShop lines them up with no problem. I have purposely moved the camera off to see how far it will correct. Do that much and you might have to crop the final shot though. In panoramas you don't have to be close at all. But of course the closer you are the less you have to crop but PS will handle it.

Re: Don's HDR attempts

They are all 3 shot HDR. 1.5 stop difference. the people walking in the stream are going very slow and the D5100 will shoot very fast in Bracket mode. All were hand held

You might try a wider stop range. I'm not seeing any detail in the shadows.

Re: Don's HDR attempts

Here are the 3 shots for the shot with the people in it. As you can see there is almost no detail in the concrete wall in the background.

I was referring to the second one. The concrete almost looks like it's 'painted in' in post.

There was almost no light on it and it is dark mold on it in real life. Almost no way to get it and get anything else in the shot at this time of the day. The concrete was poured 175 years ago and is over a creek.

They were awesome here too I was out and about with my daughter in law and mentioned that I wish I had my camera.

Re: Don's Daily Dabblings

we are getting lots of clouds but no rain

Re: Don's HDR attempts

I wish I had been somewhere that had a nice foreground to go with the clouds but all I had was my front yard. I had about 4 minutes of these beautiful clouds before they went all black.

The bottom fell out shortly after this and I had thick juicy Ribeyes on the grill and had to go out in the heavy rain and get them in without getting them rained on. (Grill has a lid so it was closed for cooking)

I am not trying to aggravate you but that is what I took it as and when I typed it in it didn't go anywhere. I was just trying to help you avoid a potential problem. I do like the design and think it looks very good.

I agree with Jeff, Capitalizing the "D" and "P" create some separation so the web name is memorable and it gets the customer to the site. I really like the picture too, perfect for an advertisements and "catchy"

I only had a few minutes to look at them and get one up. Still have a few more to look at and see if any are worth the Post Processing.

Re: Don's Daily Dabblings

I got two more stump grinding pictures

Re: Don's Daily Dabblings

Had two of these in the front shrubbery about 10 feet apart. One was in the sun and facing forward. The other was facing backward and in the shadow. Got the one in the sun.

Re: Don's Daily Dabblings

Went to a VA family picnic meet and greet with my son today. He is student worker for the University Veterans office while he is at school at the University of Alabama. Of course I carried my camera and got a few shots.

First Live entertainment

My son carried his two little dogs. They are a hit everywhere they go

And there was a police helicopter I caught landing.

And a shot of the area because I was bored.

Ran into Big Al today. Roll Tide Roll

For those who do not know what I am talking about Big Al is The University of Alabama's mascot and Roll Tide Roll refers to the nickname the Football team has "The Crimson Tide"
